So, back in April this was Ken Cuccinelli, talking about how he’s supposedly a “big believer in transparency,” and making a big joke about the gifts he received from Star Scientific’s Jonnie Williams (Cuccinelli flippantly says, “if anyone wants $6,700 worth of food supplements, you know, I’m your man!”). Now, fast forward 3+ months, and Cuccinelli’s not so big on transparency after all, stating yesterday that “he has no plans to repay the more than $18,000 in gifts” from Jonnie Williams, and claiming that “There are some bells you can’t unring.” Well, actually, Cuccinelli COULD “unring” the gifts from Jonnie Williams by…wait for it…writing a check for the value of those gifts. I know, what a concept. Not too difficult for most of us to understand, but apparently it is FAR too difficult for this “big believer in transparency” to grasp.
